By 1985, 750,000 miles of PVC rural water pipe had been installed in the U.S., and by 1996, PVC pipes had become the number one water pipe in the U.S. The explosion of PVC pipes isn&#8217;t accidental.

The lifespan of PVC pipes is estimated to be around 100 years, though this isn&#8217;t an exact figure because PVC pipes have only been used in the U.S. since the 1960s. What contributes to a long lifespan, however, is the material&#8217;s chemical stability and the fact that it is resistant to corrosion.<\/p><p>PVC (polyvinyl chloride) is made from chlorine and ethylene. Because of its plastic materials, it is immune to corrosion and resistant to degradation caused by organic substances, salts, acids, bases, or a variety of other chemicals. As a result, PVC pipes can be exposed to different elements in soil and water and remain intact.<\/p><p>Another reason the PVC pipe lifespan is long is because, unlike metal pipes, they are resistant to biological growth, such as bacteria and algae. This makes them suitable for sewer and wastewater systems. Finally, PVC pipes are designed to be durable and strong, allowing them to withstand a lot of external pressure.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ed86d89 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"ed86d89\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-large\">What Factors Can Reduce the PVC Pipe Lifespan?<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-8679239 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"8679239\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-45bb8ec\" data-id=\"45bb8ec\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a21576c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a21576c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<p>Although PVC pipes are known for their strength and durability, there are factors that can reduce their longevity.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-a88f6c9 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"a88f6c9\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-842f611\" data-id=\"842f611\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2196521 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"2196521\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-medium\">Sun Exposure: Is PVC UV Resistant?<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-f9d91a5 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"f9d91a5\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-277d525\" data-id=\"277d525\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a239f4f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a239f4f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<p>Unfortunately, PVC pipes are not UV resistant, and the sun&#8217;s ultraviolet rays can break down <a href=\"https:\/\/en.lesso.com\/product\/water-supply\/pvc-u-water-supply-pipe.html\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>PVC pipes<\/strong><\/span><\/a> faster than normal.

When the pipes are fitted correctly, the risks of leaks are significantly reduced. They can also withstand different types of pressures without collapsing or deforming. And as noted before, proper backfilling and bedding can better insulate the pipes and stabilize them.<\/p><p>Regular maintenance is crucial, too. Have plumbers perform a regular inspection to ensure there are no blockages, cracks, or leaks.

Excessive water velocity can result in more wear and tear on your pipes and faster degradation. &#8220;Water hammer&#8221; can also become an issue. Water hammer occurs when the flow of water suddenly stops or is forced to change direction.
